Emma on Just Eat:

I am a very fussy person and like good quality, healthy, tasty, fresh food. This takeaway is the only one I have found that can provide that. Very fast prep time as well. I wont bother with any other takeaway.

6th December 2018Caitlin on Sunderland Foodies:
Tried yings Thai takeaway for the first time tonight and it was absolutely lovely, best salt and chilli chips around! Honey ribs and spiced belly pork was tremendous, would highly recommend! Just waiting for I’m a Celeb to try our cheesecake jars

We’ve been here 4 or 5 times now, and we honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. The food is outstanding; full of flavour, plentiful and delicious. We’re slowly making our way through the menu. If you ever have room after your meal, try a cheesecake jar. They are immense!

Oh my God!
Clearly Ying is a genius. That food tonight was so good I almost cried.
Better still I couldn’t finish it so bait time tomorrow at work will be class.
Ying should be prime minister. Total genius.

Had our first Yings tonight it was absolutely amazing, everything was spot on and totally authentic Thai we had Papaya salad Salt & chilli chips, salt & chilli prawns,Chicken satay,Belly pork which was unreal then Penang curry Took around an hour for delivery but was well worth the wait Highly recommended…Online ordering fab idea

Amy on Facebook:

We tried yings for the first time tonight I literally can’t get over how amazing it was!! I rang up as there just eat and website weren’t taking orders. The man on the phone was lovely and explained delays and what time to expect it. At the time it was due I received a call from him to advise they were running late due to unforseen circumstances and it would be next to leave the shop. I don’t think you can ask for more than this! these things happen but I have never been contacted from a shop to inform me and the delivery girl was lovely and very apologetic ! All of the food was delicious and red hot. The belly pork starter and chilli and salt chips are literally two of the best things I’ve ever had! The whole meal was amazing and the staff and service spot on can’t wait to order again!! 🍲🍛🍜😍

Love asking Laurence for a surprise dish he always comes up trumps. Last nights order was Devine as always Ying is a food goddess ❤️ 3 very happy Very very full ladies last night. And a full meal taken for one of the OHs after ha x

Introduced my uber picky daughter to the delights of Yings last night…. Sat holding my breath as she sampled it, her verdict was ‘mmmmmmm unbelievable mam’, high praise from a 15 yr old lol x

Rob on Google Business:

Fantastic Thai food. Had the salt and chilli squid, then the beef red curry with Jasmine rice and Thai prawn crackers. Everything was amazingly spiced and very tasty. Up there with the best Thai food I have had. We will be back.

18th November 2018 Vikki on Facebook:
Tonight was the first time we’ve tried this take away, omg it was amazing!!! We had our honeymoon in Thailand and your tom yum soup took me right back there! My wife and I would definitely recommend

18th November 2018

David on Facebook: Fantastic once again 2nd time I’ve ordered here did not disappoint 5*

17th November 2018 Ben on Facebook:
FIRST TIME!! absolute unbelievable scran from this place….will be visiting again. Mixed Meat Pad Thai. Salt and Chilli Chips portion on Satay Sauce and a lemon cheesecake for after! Unbelievable

Well what can I say about Yings Thai takeaway?? My taste buds are still dancing! We have now ordered 5 times and the consistency is fantastic!! Restaurant quality food in a take away carton is 100% right. Piping hot food, fresh quality products and flavours that are to die for. I was very sceptical about trying Thai food but now myself and family can’t get enough. Customer service is 1st class and the food is more than worth the wait at busy times. Would recommend Yings to anyone. Keep up the great work!

16th November 2018 Steven on Facebook:Good God the food was so good I almost cried, honestly!

16th November 2018 Angela on Facebook:100% amazing food yet again. I’ve dared myself and gone from Thai red/green/yellow curry and the tried Pad Kee Maow. Omg the flavours are amazing. The noodles are a taste of their own! I have no more words xxx

14th November 2018 Lisa on Sunderland and Surrounding Foodies:
Yings have done it again…taste buds are dancing with a kick…mixed sea food jungle curry, coconut rice, salt and chilli chips…crispy belly pork, salt and chilli calamari prawn crackers and cheese cake for after but think I will be having that tomorrow…this place never fails and the staff are just the best…and delivered by a nice friendly driver 10/10

14th November Kerry on Sunderland Foodies:
OMG breaking my Yings virginity tonight, I know it’s not the best presentation but everyone’s comments are right, so good Belly pork starter is unreal — at Ying’s Thai Takeaway

Yings is the best Thai food EVER! Forget the presentation you taste with your tongue not your eyes!
​13th November 2018 Lindsay on Facebook:

Knee deep in Yings tonight I swear this place gets better every time, I won this in a competition so tastes even better 😂. Second to none this bait. I’ve got the owner on Facebook so he must have seen it’s mine and owa lasses anniversary today so they put a nice cheesecake jar in with a lovely message on. What a bloke. Cheers Laurence Hunter mate. Compliments to the chef 👩‍🍳

Not usually a fan of Asian food. But got to say my mind has been changed now I’ve tried Ying’s Thai food. I went for a beef red curry which was unreal and the salt and chilli chips were amazing too. The little cheesecakes in jars are so cute also! love this place already!

Rachel on Facebook:
We had Ying’s a little while ago and only just now got round to doing a review. The food is absolutely amazing. I’m not a chip lover but the salt and chilli chips are my new favourite thing. We ordered the prawn tempura, chicken satay, pad thai, and a spicy seafood sauce that I can’t remember the name of and of course the salt and chilli chips. We got 2 free types of crackers which also went lovely with the meal. Couldn’t fault the food or the service and for the price and taste we’ll definitely be back!

2nd October 2018
Leanne on Trip Advisor:
The food from yings is outstanding and our new favourite takeaway in Sunderland. We had a mixed starter which had prawn toast , ribs , chicken skewers a few other things everything was really tasty. We had a satay dish and a chilli dish with fried rice and salt pepper chips plenty of meat and prawns. We pre ordered our food before shop opened to have it delivered at a certain time which they did , this is advisable as they get so busy.
​
2nd October 2018
Samantha on Just Eat:
I am a HUGE pad Thai snob and I nearly cried my eyes out when the Thai takeaway we used closed! I have tried three other places who were dreadful and you were literally our last hope for good Thai food! I ordered the fish cakes, crispy belly pork pad Thai and when I opened the lid on my pad Thai I was jumping up and down with joy, it was nice and dry! No sloppy noodles in sight. It tasted as good as it looked, and it was probably a half a teaspoon of tamarind paste and a squeeze of lime away from perfection. I’m am so happy. You have a new customer here, I look forward to trying other dishes!
​

Food is beautiful. Especially the salt and chilli chips. Would definitely recommend. Had one slight problem this evening I ordered vegetable tempura and received tempura prawns instead. Would probably be fine for others, but not a house of vegetarians haha 🙂

Michelle on Facebook:
Absolutely beautiful food, got recommendation today and I’m so pleased we ordered. Very authentic food loved every bite. We had the salt and chilli calamari and chips too along with prawn pad Thai and green curry with coconut rice. Ordered wings for my son and asked for plain no sauce, got with sauce so a little disappointed with that but have to say the sauce was to die for. Great little business to come to Sunderland

Delicious! Best Thai green curry in Sunderland area

7th September 2018
Candice on Sunderland Foodies:
Tonight we jumped on the Ying’s Thai Takeaway wagon and we’re so glad we did.
The owner couldn’t have been more helpful on the phone allowing me to change the spice of the curry. He had a full conversation with my partner and even allowed us to specify a pick up time (HATE cold food that’s been sat waiting for collection).
And the food, wow. So fresh and full of flavour, still lovely and hot and portions are huge or maybe we just ordered too much. 🙈 I thought everyone was just bigging the place up but it’s truly a great addition to Sunderland and we definitely weren’t disappointed. We’d highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely tried a couple of takeaway for Thai and I’m always left a bit disappointed as it’s never been like the food I have had in Thailand. This meal was so tasty, the salt and pepper calamari and chips where so nice. Had the garlic flakes on like authentic Thai was just missing the crispy deep fried basil and it would of been exactly like Thailand. Panang is full of flavour. Will definitely be ordering again thank you

Last night decided to try the new Thai takeaway Yings at Southwick and oh my I am very pleased I did. We tried to order the night before but was told they were so busy and advised would be a 90 minute wait. Told to pre order in future by phone anytime from 12pm the day of delivery so I placed my order about 3pm yesterday for 9.15pm last night, the customer service on ordering was fab.. after being told I had made good choices I was defo looking forward to it.
9.20 my order arrived, still hot.. Spiced Belly Pork, Beef Masaman Curry with Sticky Rice, Chicken Pad a Poaw which was a garlic and chilli dish with Salt and Chilli Chips. Portions good size, standard of food outstanding and the taste…. blinking gorgeous, total taste explosion had a little dance on me tongue and thee best salt and chilli chips proper homemade . Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten and that’s including restaurant quality and standard. If ever a takeaway was worthy of a review and an award it’s this one!! Laurence and Yings hard work definitely shows. No accounting on passion for food
10/10

Michelle on Facebook:
First time we’ve ordered from you guys tonight and I saw your posts previously about calling to pre order so we did just that. It was great calling up as we could request dishes to be made slightly hotter. The food was absolutely unbelievable! Salt and Chilli King Prawns were the best thing I’ve ever eaten!! Took us straight back to Thailand. We’re so happy we’ve found your place. Thank you so much!!

Clare on Facebook:
First time trying Thai food and it was absolutely beautiful. Honey chicken was unbelievably tasty, as was the Crying Tiger (Sirloin Steak). We’d ordered Yellow Noodles too but it was a little too much ontop of everything else. Our eyes are always bigger than our bellys! Food was very tasty, piping hot and beautifully fresh.
Will 100% be coming back for more!
Staff are fantastic – super friendly and helpful – although I was a little disappointed my Monopoly money wasn’t accepted, especially after being told they accept cash, card or Monopoly money! (God loves a tryer!)
Overall we’re very pleased to have found this absolute gem Thank you x
Sorry no pics – we were starving!!!

“Tofu good to be true…”

At last a TakeAway that does Tofu and to restaurant standard! Thoroughly enjoyed the Panang Curry, spicy with great fresh, individual flavours. I could taste the fresh chilli & lime leaves. Rice & noodles were perfect along with the delicious crispy Tofu in Satay Sauce. I’ll definitely be sampling the other dishes…I love Thai food and have tried other Thai takeaways (coconut milk with Chinese curry paste & tinned veg based mostly) many restaurants, including chains- I’ve also been lucky enough to visit Thailand and this is the real deal. Unreservedly recommended!

After seeing laods of really good reviews, we tried Ying’s tonight. My husband phoned up and ordered our usual Green Curry with Chicken, along with Jasmine Rice, Salt and Chilli chips, Prawn Crackers and a Mixed Platter starter as we couldn’t decide on which starter to get.

I went over to pick it up. Laurence is absolutely lovely and I left with my takeaway in hand feeling like I’d known him longer than the 10 mins I was in the shop for!

The food though….wow! Laurence mentioned Ying works alone in the kitchen as she doesn’t trust anyone with the quality of her food and I can honestly see why. The food was so fresh and tasty and the quality on par, if not better than most restaurants. Loved being able to try a variety of the starters (and so did the kids) the sauces were gorgeous and the ribs were so tender the meat just fell off. The Green Curry was so fresh and the Salt and Chilli chips were amazing!

So pleased to have found a quality take away in Sunderland where the food is freshly made. Definitely our new favourite place to go!

Highly recommended. Never used Yings before so was obviously apprehensive as to what we would receive. However food was received before the estimated delivery time, the smell was brilliant so that was a good start. We all know that as soon as you look at a plate of food as to whether it is one thing you are going to enjoy, this food looked really good. It was very hot, despite the fact that we live quite a way from the takeaway, it was also delicious! The food that we received is what you would have expected in a high class restaurant., Our thanks go to the Chef whom provided the best takeaway food that we have ever experienced. There is no competition in Sunderland for Yings.

Well the jury is in! It was amazing! Well worth every penny. All meat was cooked to a fantastic standard, the ribs being the best as the meat just fell from the bone. Portion size is huge to which is always a bonus!

I have eaten Thai food for years both restaurant and takeaway it being one of my favourite foods and Ying’s Thai Takeaway is by far the best I have ever had. I can highly recommend the Masaman Curry which is mild and creamy, if you like a bit of spice try the Salt and Chilli Chips.

SO THRILLED to have found this outstanding place. The quality of the ingredients used is unbelievable, I can honestly say I’ve never had Thai food like it. Beautifully presented, delivered piping hot (despite being quite a distance away), and the most well-balanced and beautiful flavours, not to mention the staff who bend over backwards for their customers. So, so impressed. THANK YOU – best Thai food we’ve ever tried, anywhere in the world! We will be back VERY soon x

Lewis on Just Eat:
The man in the shop is a gentleman. The food is exquisite. Honey chilli chicken was delicious, it comes with a thin sauce similar to a soup, full of flavour and sinks into the sticky rice and chicken beautifully. My girlfriend who regularly eats Thai food said it was the best she had tasted. I even have to mention the salt and chilli chips. I didn’t think a simple ‘extra’ you buy from most takeaways could taste so good. Cherish this place because I haven’t known a takeaway like it. My only criticism! I won’t ever be able to eat standard Thai red curry from anywhere else again without being disappointed and having this place to compare it to. Order from here and you will become a customer for life.

About to burst at the seams after a small hiccup the other week we had this delivered for free from Ying’s Thai Takeaway and I’m so impressed. The flavours were unreal and the spring rolls took me straight back to the little shack in Phi Phi island which does the most amazing spring rolls – these were exactly the same!! The customer service is second to none and you can tell the bloke really cares about his business and his customers. The Thai green curry is amazing! Can’t wait to try more!

I really can’t believe I’ve just had the best Thai meal I have ever had. I have eaten so much Thai food over the years, around the country and in Asia, but I never believed I could actually have a takeaway of pure quality. I can’t wait to try the curries next, then everything else. Best pad Thai I have had and chips are amazing. 100/100 I will be ordering again, I am very happy I have found my new favourite Thai food!

Wow what can I say about this Thai takeaway other then its the best we’ve EVER had! And we been to loads of Thai restaurants in Newcastle/Gateshead and other countries. When I rang up the man on the phone was lovely and so helpful. Food arrived on time and hot and fresh, it all tasted amazing. I’m so glad there’s now a Thai Takeaway delivering in the Gateshead area, if I could give 100 stars I would!! Well done to everyone at Yings, I will be recommending to everyone!! Thank you from 2 regular customers now!! Thank you so much- was unreal food!!

Takeaway Tuesdays. Yings Thai Takeaway. This was hands down, the best oriental takeaway, if not the best takeaway I’ve ever had.. WoW. Absolutely incredible that food of this quality actually came from a takeaway. Found out that Ying was Head Chef of a big Thai restaurant. pretty much explains everything. cant imagine many Thai restaurants being better than that!

Ying’s Thai Takeaway in Southwick, Sunderland is a must for those who enjoy getting their tastebuds tickled. Fantastic service by a very well spoken and knowledgeable staff. The food is exquisite; the flavours, smells and combinations of delectable food makes for a hugely enjoyable experience. So many different items to choose from that we will definitely be returning!

AMAZING! I love Thai food and eat out regularly in Thai restaurants and this was better than some places I’ve eaten out. The food is full of flavour and you can taste the food is cooked fresh. Laurence gave me a call to confirm that all items on my order were vegan as I left a message on just eat to make sure, he called me to tell me my order was going to be ten mins late (which I’ve never had from any other take away) and then he also delivered the food to my door! I can’t recommend this place enough, unreal!

Thai is one of my favourite cuisines! Ying’s food is beautiful; fresh, full of flavour, excellent quality and completely authentic. Tonight was the 2nd time I’d ordered and I went directly to Ying’s rather than using just-eat. I couldn’t get through at first, but Lawrence (apologies if spelled incorrectly) rang me back and left a voice message! I proceeded to order, received 10% discount and just before the delivery driver left, Lawrence rang me again to say he was on his way (I’m presuming I was the last order of the night). All in all, the food is amazing and there’s a genuine care for the customer too, which is like a breath of fresh air! Highly recommended!!!

Quality new local establishment. refreshing to have takeaway food that you can tell is all made from scratch.. I’ve grown tired of local Chinese takeaways with the same old bought in frozen & deep fried food, they are all the same.. I even questioned on the telephone to see if the prawn toast was bought in or homemade. it was definitely homemade. Masaman curry was rich & flavourful and the salt & chilli chips were an explosion of flavour.. 10/10 and I will be back again tonight!

The best Thai Takeaway I’ve had!!
Having heard such great things since Yings opened i really couldnt wait to try!
Both dishes were so tasty.Ive been to Thailand and it was as tasty and as fresh as the food I ate there.
I got the mixed seafood Jungle Curry with Jasmine Rice and the seafood was such excellent quality and so fresh! I was asked how spicy I wanted it.i said as spicy as Ying would cook it and it was exactly the Thai way.Blew my mouth off in a good way making me want more but you can have it milder if you prefer.
My partner used to live in Thailand and he lived on Chicken Penang, we ordered that as well. It was honestly 1 of the best we have had, it was so tasty. I can’t honestly wait to order again. I havn’t been able to stop thinking of the food and the excellent friendly customer service that was received when my order was taken and on collection. Despite being so busy the owner was still so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you and we will order again this week!

“I honestly can’t describe how AMAZING my taste buds feel right now. Not even an exaggeration!! We tried this takeaway as we’ve just completed on our first home so wanted something a bit different after a long day of pulling bathroom suites out and my god thank god we did!! We ordered Thai green curry but I don’t like spicy food where as my partner does, this was no problem and he even asked what type of spice he liked! We also ordered spring rolls and king prawns – mouthwatering!! Driver was only 10 minutes late but we got a phone call a few minutes before he was due to tell us he was stuck in traffic because of the air show – something we’ve never had off any other take away. Food was packaged and labelled well and tastes just like an expensive restaurant. 110% worth those extra pennies! Will be back again in no time. Honestly Laurence I can’t big it up enough! You know when you’re soooo full but you can’t stop eating?! That’s exactly what we were like. Amazing customer service, lovely delivery driver and mouthwatering food. 100000% be back!!! 😍Thank you! ”

Redhotcook on Trip Advisor:
“Seen reviews on a foodie Facebook page had to give it a try, Thai food is a favourite of mine. Ordered a few starters the spicy belly pork is to die for ( spicy) golden parcels full of tasty filling not spicy so kids will love them, chicken satay juicy and nice sauce. Mains was Thai green chicken curry which comes with steamed rice again spicy but I could have had it with more chilli just because I love hot dishes. Everything was fresh cooked so order in advance expect to wait 20-40 mins as great food takes a bit longer. I drove home to Gateshead and it was still red hot. This is way above the average takeaway I believe they’re going to add a small eat in area. give this a try you won’t regret it. 5 ***** for food & service. I’m definitely going to be back.”
